Metabolite Identification
Common NameAzacyclonol
DescriptionAzacyclonol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as diphenylmethanes. Diphenylmethanes are compounds containing a diphenylmethane moiety, which consists of a methane wherein two hydrogen atoms are replaced by two phenyl groups. It is made by the organometallic addition of 4-bromopyridine to benzophenone, followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the pyridine heteroaromatic ring system to the corresponding piperidine. It has also been called a tranquilizer and antipsychotic, though these definitions are not accurate as it does not actually possess such properties. Azacyclonol is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Terfenadine produces azacyclonol as a major active metabolite. The drug was introduced in Europe in the mid-1950s for the treatment of schizophrenia likely because it was found to attenuate the subjective psychedelic effects of LSD and mescaline in humans. However, due to poor and mixed clinical effectiveness it never gained widespread acceptance and was eventually discontinued. Despite being a positional isomer of pipradrol, it is not a psychostimulant, and instead has mild depressant effects. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Azacyclonol is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Azacyclonol is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
